Thank You

Dear Friends of eleho,

As we look ahead to 2010 we want to take a moment to thank each of you for your support of eleho in 2009.  Last year presented us with amazing opportunities to spread awareness and build deep, strategic relationships both here in the States and in Burma/Thailand.  We’d like to share a few of the highlights with you.

In October members of the eleho team got to share the stage with Bono and U2 during a tribute to Aung San Suu Kyi that was broadcast live around the world.  Also here at home we supported the technology and social media for a national live advocacy event for Burma called the Ignite Project brining together over a thousand people for a first of its kind event for Burma.

In the Thai-Burma border areas we focused on continuing to develop our network of Burma organizations that are serving the people on the ground.  One such connection is with Compassio, an organization that is transforming the lives of street children in the border towns.  Last fall we sent a team to Thailand to lay the foundation for a new project called Twenty-4-Hope in partnership with Compassio.  We will lead web development, filmmaking, and awareness strategy to launch a $20 monthly giving initiative in support of Compassio’s inspiring work, like their child protection center, mobile health clinic, and safe houses.  We could not be more excited to launch this project with Compassio and watch the lives of Burmese children in Mae Sot, Thailand change as a result.

Each time we travel to Burma/Thailand we meet more of the amazing people that we strive to serve.  Their stories are our inspiration and our mission.  As we continue to develop eleho we are more excited and committed than ever to bring the most compelling stories to you and connect you to the best ways to make a difference.  If you would like to make a donation to support our work, you can do so at www.eleho.org/donate

Thanks for making our work possible.

Sincerely,

Ryan Sisson
